What makes Ethereum Classic (ETC) unique?
Ethereum Classic is the original Ethereum blockchain that maintained its historical ledger following the 2016 DAO hack. It upholds the principle of “code is law,” prioritizing immutability and decentralization over reversibility.
Unlike Ethereum, which transitioned to proof-of-stake, ETC continues to rely on a proof-of-work consensus mechanism. This makes it the leading smart contract platform still powered by miners. It remains compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), enabling decentralized app deployment while following a conservative upgrade path that prioritizes stability.
ETC also features a capped supply of approximately 210.7 million tokens, with emissions gradually reduced through programmed “fifthenings.” This Bitcoin-like monetary model introduces built-in scarcity and long-term predictability, reinforcing Ethereum Classic’s commitment to secure, permissionless value transfer and reliable smart contract execution.
